摘要
This paper examines popular concepts and ''types'' of organizational commitment in light of the definition of commitment and common factors that pertain to all commitments. Ir argues that a commitment is best conceptualized as a single. fundamental construct that may vary according to differences in focus. terms, and time-specific evaluation. Analysis of affective commitment measures indicates that certain measures contain more than one set of terms and make assumptions about evaluation that add constraints to the basic meaning of commitment. Recommendations include the argument that commitment measures address one set of terms and avoid evaluative phraseology. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
